7ftSicilians

A humble thank you to all our fans; we appreciate the support and the views. What started as a series of brief convos over fixie rides, city wides, and Ranger’s games have culminated in a website, socials, stickers, interviews, and many blog posts. So if anyone out there in the ether would like a sticker, please let one of us know, and we’ll facilitate the handoff. 

Also, special thanks to our honorary Sicilians that helped generate content and provide artistic direction over the last few months.
